[quote=Anonymous]Go for it! I did it on my first try with a 3:36. My most recent marathon was under 3:10. If I were you, I would pick a target race in the fall to get excited about. Check out marathonguide.com for a list of races by date and state. You can read reviews too. Some courses are faster than others so keep that in mind. Then find some tune-up races- 10ks, half marathons, etc.- leading up to the marathon. You can check to see if you're roughly on track to run your target time by checking the mcmillan race calculator online. Consider joining a running group- there are lots in the DC area. Also, might be worth it to check out some training books if you're really serious. When I PRed, I roughly followed the Pfitzinger (sp) book though I have also heard good things about Hansens. Good luck! Running a marathon and PRing is an amazing feeling![/quote]
